Another impressive tool from Launch
There are several aspects of the Creader Elite tool that stand out to make it the top of my list when I’m working on a Mercedes.The first part I really like is the amount of information that I can get access to with this tool. The software on the tool will communicate with every module on the vehicles I work on (I work as an auto technician and have for 28 years). Being able to see what the computers see as the inputs and outputs is crucial to accurately diagnosing these vehicles. Since there are anywhere from 10-60 modules on modern Mercedes controlling everything on the vehicle I want to see which ones have codes and be able to run tests to see what isn’t working.The second thing that is really impressive is the depth that the software has to not only see the datastream but perform actuation tests as well as go through and perform calibrations and service functions. Having these abilities means this tool can perform resets and in many cases do dealer level service functions.The third thing I find really helpful about the Creader Elite is just how easy it is to use and navigate. The main menu is laid out very well and the speed of the processor is easily on par with other scan tools I have. The service functions can quickly be accessed from the home screen so instead of having to navigate to the correct module to perform a function you can go right to the menu and get to it quickly. Updating this tool has been super easy when updates are available there’s a little red icon on the update button and it is just a few clicks to get the most up to date software.This Creader can also make a shareable report showing the results of the testing and then send that to either your own email or a customer’s email which makes this really professional and perfect for pre-scan and post-scan showing that a code is now gone or making sure what codes were present when a technician started working on a vehicle.Something else I have really liked about this tool is that there is no battery for me to maintain or worry about. Almost all my other tools I have to make sure they are charged because many of them won’t power up from 0% and still run the operating system so it throws a wrench into my process having to wait but not with this tool I can jump right into diagnosis.Overall I have zero issues recommending this tool because of the functionality of the software the ease of use and depth of information and functions this little tool can do it’s an easy choice.

Versatile and Feature Rich
I have several scanners that I have acquired over the years for Mercedes and other cars I’ve owned. Those include a DAS/Xentry clone, Autel MaxiDAS DS808, iCarsoft MB II, iCarsoft MB V3.0, BlueDriver, and now this LAUNCH X431 (Creader Elite MB). All of those scanners compare favorably, but have different price-points. The DAS/Xentry clone is the tool dealerships use but should only be used if you KNOW what you are doing. Otherwise, you may end up bricking your car’s ECU. The Autel scanner can do nearly as much as it is intended as a shop-level tool and it is a little more pricey than most driveway mechanics want to spend on a tool. The last group including iCarsoft, BlueDriver, and this tool (LAUNCH) will let most people do what they want for just a little more than a single trip to the dealer will charge to diagnose a problem. They currently range in price from $100 to $160.Things I like about this scanner:* It does everything the iCarsoft and BlueDriver scanners can do.* It’s cheaper than the iCarsoft scanner.* It updates easily over WiFi directly (versus downloading software updates via a Windows app – iCarsoft).* It’s a little faster to do a complete automatic scan than the iCarsoft scanner.* It allows you to generate and email scanning reports with a single touch.* Optionally, you can purchase other vehicles to add to the scanner (it’s multi-vehicle) rather than being limited to only one brand of vehicles.Things I dislike about this scanner:* If you have used other scanners, such as the Autel or iCarsoft scanners, the LAUNCH requires some familiarization — it’s not immediately intuitive. However, if you understand that and are willing to learn how to use it, that “drawback” is easily overcome.All-in-all, this is a great little scanner for the price and will do just about anything most DIYers will need to do. I have long been a proponent of vehicle-specific scan tools for anyone that owns a modern car. (Generic OBD scanners are limited to the generic engine-related codes, but vehicle-specific scanners do much more than that.) You may not know how to fix something, but it is always good to know what the problem is to avoid expensive trips to the shop. Many problems are simple, isolated incidents and can be “fixed” by clearing stored codes, such as codes stored because you forgot to put the gas cap on or you replaced the car battery.

This item was ordered on 9/9/25 and sold as new. It had 6 stored reports on the device from 8/17-8/22/25. The battery will not charge and can only be viewed when plugged in. It does scan. It work fine on my 2019 sprinter as well as the previous purchasers class 20 and SL 500 model Mercedes.

Ich habe mir das Gerät für meinen S205 (Baujahr 2020) zugelegt, hauptsächlich für Wartungszwecke und um den Fehlerspeicher auszulesen. Und ich muss sagen: Ich bin wirklich begeistert!Zwar ist das Gerät nicht das schnellste, aber die Funktionsvielfalt der Software hat mich absolut überrascht. Damit hätte ich nicht gerechnet.Beispiele: Ich konnte DAB freischalten, die Start/Stopp-Funktion dauerhaft deaktivieren, das AMG-Menü aktivieren und vieles mehr. AuÃerdem lassen sich umfangreiche Wartungsarbeiten durchführen â etwa eine Getriebeadaption, ein Getriebeölwechsel inklusive aller originalen Abläufe, die Regeneration des Partikelfilters und viele weitere Funktionen.Im Vergleich zu anderen Testern bekommt man hier für relativ kleines Geld eine beeindruckende Ausstattung.

Ich habe die Funktionen bisher im W204 (C-Klasse) getestet. Positiv ist zunächst, dass der Hersteller laut eigener Aussage seit Nov. 2022 lebenslange Softwareupdates über WLAN (Diagnosesoftware und Gerätesoftware) für das Gerät bereitstellt, was dann laut Eintrag im Gerät selber 10 Jahre bedeutet. AuÃerdem sind die wesentlichen Funktionen für die Fahrzeugmarke mit der das Gerät ausgeliefert wird bereits enthalten, sodass keine zusätzlichen Inhalte gekauft werden müssen, auch wenn ein recht umfänglicher Store enthalten ist. Hier erhält man für knapp 39⬠weitere Herstellerpakete, was ich sehr fair finde, zumal meist Konzernmarken in einem Paket enthalten sind, also z.B. die VAG Gruppe oder BMW/Mini. Mit 12 GB internem Speicher kann das Gerät einiges an Updates wegstecken, alternativ gibt es aber auch noch einen SD-Karten-Slot. Das Gerät selber ist leicht und kompakt und besitzt keine Batterie. Die Spannung kommt über den USB- oder den OBD-Anschluss.Der Funktionsumfang bietet einen automatischen Diagnosescan sehr vieler Steuergeräte und Systeme sowie den manuellen Zugriff darauf. Hier lassen sich dann kleinteilig viele Funktionen ansteuern oder Daten auslesen, Funktionen testen, Einstellungen verändern und sogar Systeme anlernen. Beispielsweise lassen sich alle Funktionen des Mantelrohrmoduls, des Xenon-Systems, der Parktronic oder die Elektronik der AuÃenspiegel oder Fensterheber auslesen, einzeln Ansteuern und teilweise anlernen. Zu den einstellbaren Dingen gehört selbst die Möglichkeit die Tonhöhe und Lautstärke der Parktronic-Piepser zu verändern. Anlernen lassen sich z.B. die Fensterheber oder die AuÃenspiegel-Einklappfunktion. Auch Livedaten zu allen möglichen Werten mehrere Steuergeräte kann man sich anzeigen lassen, z.B. Drosselklappe, Temperaturen oder Spannungen der Motorsteuerung. Zu Diagnosen kann man sich Berichte ausgeben lassen und z.T. auch per Mail vom Gerät aus versenden (wenn WLAN vorhanden und USB oder OBD angeschlossen sind). Auch Serviceintervalle für BremsenverschleiÃ, Ãlservice etc. etc. kann man bearbeiten. Gut ist auch die interne Bibliothek, die Erklärungen zu Fehlercodes liefert. Das Thema Codieren umfasst die vielen Einstellungs- und Anlernmöglichkeiten der verschiedenen Systeme. AMG-Menüs freischalten oder das Papyrus Design der Anzeigen durch das Silver Design ersetzen funktioniert leider nicht. Spannend wäre, die ganzen Funktionen danach zu durchsuchen, ob nicht vielleicht Hardware verbaut und nur durch Software deaktiviert ist, weil sie beim Kauf nicht mit bestellt wurde. Beispielsweise konnte ich im Radio die Funktion DAB aktivieren, was aber leider keinen Effekt hatte. Was aber gehen soll sind wichtige Anlernfunktionen wie der Airmatic oder von Automatikgetrieben. Das Ãberprüfen der Kilometerleistungen durch den Vergleich mehrerer Steuergeräte würde den Funktionsumfang ebenfalls sehr gut ergänzen, ist bisher aber nicht enthalten. Etwas verbesserungswürdig ist noch die Software des Gerätes selbst, in die man sich etwas einarbeiten muss und bei der die deutsche Ãbersetzung nicht immer perfekt ist.Mein Fazit ist, dass das Gerät einen ordentlichen Funktionsumfang bietet und dazu die Updatepolitik durch sehr lange Updategarantien (mind. 10 Jahre) und günstige Downloadpakete sehr fair ist. Darüber amortisiert sich der Kauf dann auch schnell.

Bien et basique mais certaines fonctionnalités ne sont pas pour les débutants.Bon appareil pour déceler les codes défauts et les effacer si le défaut n’est pas récurant et permet de s’envoyer par mail le rapport de diagnostic.
